Open Sources (Ep. #439) Show Notes for August 31, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re getting you ready for Labour Day! No, not the holiday weekend widely considered the last break of the summer, we mean the “fight the power” version where you get out on the streets and fight for workers’ rights. We’ve got work on the mind with labour negotiations for Ontario’s teachers, and we’ve got fighting on the mind with the latest from Ukraine. In terms of a labour fight, we’ve got someone who’s a picket line right now. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #439) Show Notes for August 31, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #434) Show Notes for July 13, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, things get awkward. It’s hard enough to criticize your political enemies, but what happens when you criticize your friends and then you have to fly off to Europe and see them face to face? That’s one question this week, and another question is how concerned we should be about a mosquito-borne disease that’s making a local-ish comeback? In the second half of the show, we will hear from the woman who hopes to hold on to a nearby riding for team orange. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #434) Show Notes for July 13, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #432) Show Notes for June 29, 2023

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re not phoning it in before the long weekend. There are some very serious issues that we need to shed a light on, including that was-it-a-coup-attempt in Russia last weekend that might have changed the game. And speaking of changing the game, is Canada about to be serviced by one big newspaper company? What about the fate of local news? In the back half of the show, nothing major, just the state of our emergency rooms in Canada. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #432) Show Notes for June 29, 2023” →

Abroad, we will look at the latest developments around a year-long war, and the same old same old from the death cult that now runs the American legislature.
